Today’s trade idea is on INTC which is a bellweather Dow stock that has been beaten down lately. The stock is trading at $50.48 and is holding above the 200-day moving average which currently sits at $48.72.

INTC is currently the 6th most oversold stock in the Dow behind MMM, DWDP, XOM, WBA and BA and it is also a high dividend payer which makes it a great addition to any long-term portfolio.

The current yield is around 2.47%.

Selling a Jun 21st Cash Secured Put at $48 would bring in around $1.02 in premium per contract.

The breakeven on the trade would be 6.93% lower than the current price at $46.98.

If the put expires worthless, the return over 44 days would be 2.13% which equates to 17.63% per annum.

If INTC drops below $48 and the put gets assigned, I would hold the stock, collect the dividends and sells calls at around $50.

In terms of a stop loss, if INTC dropped below $46, I would rethink the position. The maximum potential loss is $4,698.
